Platform9 and Commvault have partnered to integrate Commvault’s cyber-resilience platform directly into Platform9’s Private Cloud Director, offering enterprises a comprehensive, unified solution for protecting both virtual machines and containerized workloads. This collaboration addresses a growing need among organizations migrating to private clouds to safeguard data across hybrid environments without juggling multiple backup tools.

Through seamless agentless integration, Platform9 users gain access to advanced capabilities such as application-consistent backups, granular file recovery, and disaster-recovery support for geographically dispersed VM clusters—all through a single pane of glass. Crucially, container-based applications managed via Kubernetes also benefit from the same unified protection framework, simplifying backup workflows while maintaining robust cyber resilience.

This partnership delivers tangible benefits: quicker, more reliable VM backups; faster recovery times for individual files; and strengthened resilience during regional outages. Kubernetes environments, often overlooked in traditional data protection strategies, are now shielded under Commvault’s proven technology—ensuring consistent data integrity across dynamic, cloud-native workloads.

“Commvault’s industry-leading cyber resilience and data protection features are trusted by enterprise customers,” said Madhura Maskasky, Platform9’s co-founder and chief product officer. “Combined with Platform9’s modern private cloud, this integration offers an easy-to-use but powerful solution for organizations reevaluating their infrastructure strategies”.

This collaboration comes at a time when enterprises increasingly demand hybrid and cloud-native flexibility without compromising on data security. As Commvault has been recognized as a leader in cloud-native data protection by analysts like GigaOm, its technology combined with Platform9’s robust cloud orchestration offers a compelling, integrated solution.

By bringing together cloud and VM protection into one platform, the alliance between Platform9 and Commvault streamlines operations and reduces complexity—empowering IT teams to deliver enterprise-grade data protection and cyber resilience efficiently across both legacy and modern environments.
